Well, it’s all over another season of soccer has come almost come to a conclusion and what a year it was from insane comebacks to incredible underdog stories. A year that had so many historic moments from an insane English title race that came down to the final day and both teams had historic amounts of points. In Italy it was Juventus who were strengthened this offseason by one of the worlds greatest Cristiano Ronaldo was able to seal an 8th consecutive Serie A title very comfortably but their season, in the end, was seen as a failure by many because they were not able to get past the Quarterfinals of the Champions League which was the main reason they paid over 100 million euros for Cristiano Ronaldo. Barcelona won La Liga of Spain but their season will also be seen as a failure because they lost the Copa del Rey final and were knocked out of the champions league semi-finals because they were not able to hold on to a 3-0 lead against the English side Liverpool. Man City had a very dominant season winning the domestic treble ( FA Cup Carabao Cup and the Premier League).  

The European Trophies the Europa league and the Champions league was very dramatic and had so many storylines in it. The Champions League group stage all went by very normally but as soon as the knockout stages started so did the insane drama. In the round of 16 three-time defending champions, Real Madrid was knocked out by Ajax of Amsterdam a team that has an average age of 24 years old and most players in the starting lineup were under 30. In the quarterfinals it was again Ajax that had one of the biggest stories knocking out Juventus who were second favorites to win the competition and then in what some labeled as the game of the season it was the Tottenham Hotspurs who knocked of favorites Manchester City in the quarterfinals in what some labeled as the game of the season. In the semifinals Barcelona played Liverpool they had a 3-0 lead going into the second game and they let it slip leading to one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history. Ajax also were leading going into the second game by a slim 1-0 margin and then increased their lead by two in the first half of the second game Spurs then did the impossible and came back with Lucas Moura scoring three second-half goals to lead Spurs to the final. The final was set and it was Liverpool and Spurs to face off once the game started it was an electric start from Liverpool who won a penalty in the first minute of play and then capitalized through Egyptian Mohamed Salah. Liverpool went into the break leading the game but as Spurs had shown in the other stages of the competition they could not be ruled out. The rest of the game was pretty uneventful with neither side really being able to create a quality opportunity Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson Becker made some good saves but the dagger to Spurs fans heart came in the 87th minute and Liverpool went on to win 2-0 and were named champions. This was named by some people as the worst final in the last decade as there was no real excitement during the game and didn’t seem to be a good end to what an exciting season it had been before, but yes it was a very good season and one that fans everywhere will never forget.
